Detecting deadly fumes in subways, toxic gases in chemical spills, and hidden explosives in baggage is becoming easier and more efficient with a measurement technique called surface-enhanced Raman scattering. Researchers have now devised a method to evaluate substrate surfaces by using a series of killer laser pulses.
